The art of sweeping floors!!!

Good day all...how has the past few weeks been? I hope all in excellent shape with CNY around the corner which brings me to the main topic of my intented subject.

I was reading NST just on Sunday on my star and its says my entire apartment need a thorough spring cleaning of some sort!!! So off I went to the bathroom and loaded all the necessary detergent, dettol, stain removers and all I can gatherlah...oh yes including vinegar!! Mum and some of my married friends told me vinegar is an excellent stain remover.

But before that, I had to sweep the whole damn floor (before pouring all the killers on the floor)...you know sweeping with a legal broom!! Funny thing is I can't seems to sweep away the dust, hairs or whateverlah the way I wanted them to be swept away...and especially definitely not the way the maids sweeps them!!! I tell you the way they sweep the floor...fu-yo-yoh ada style, gaya and most of the time they left me and the floor breathless!!! The way they handle the broom, the twist of the arm, the body language...they dances so well together. Perfect match...eh, then I guess the condition of the broom also make a difference. Ha ha..dont' tell me a broom will sweep well if it is left with just a few feathers or whatever that is called!!! I am gobsmacked by how the floor can be so clean and clear of anything!!! There is not a single hair you can find still floating in between...hello I am dead serious okay! You don't believe me why don't you try sweeping the floor and see for yourself and, if you are as good as your housemaid then fine, kiss yourself in the mirror and if you are not then slap yourself so that I can laugh at you!!! (LOL)

I am not a fan of housemaids really...don't you fellas read the newspaper? Tiap tiap hari mesti ada berita pasal tentang pembantu rumah!!! Ekeke....here is how I classify them by their country of origin and their intention in "OUR" Country. No pun intended but it is true my loves...

A) The Indonesian (Susantis): They love to have men randomly/ They micro wave your children / They love to steal all your jewelries and disappeared as and when they like.

B) The Filipinos (Marias): They talk too much / They think they are damn good singers..how to become a singer when "where you parked your car become where you "Farked" your car!!! Oh my.. / They slapped the elderly especially those bedridden one.

C) The Chinese fr. China (Ah Lians): THEY DO NOTHING BUT STEAL PEOPLES HUSBAND!!!

There....but then again no denying, after seeing my friend's maid cleaning my apartment last year I was lost for words. Anything she touched turned brighty and shinny. From the floors to the windows, the stove..every god damn single thing!! Oh my god...for a few seconds I just stood there with my mouth wide opened....

Hmmphhh, I didn't clean my apartment for the next few months after that...
